Chris, what can I say, stunning! The variations in both colours, thread and stitching combine for another beauty. You've mentioned some threads I'm not familiar with - coton a broder and jennifer gail so am off to check these out. Do you recall what colours of the wildflowers you used - the combinations are so wonderful. Your mandalas are truly inspiring. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWOW this is so eye catching Chris and I can see why you love this stitch. I cant image how many hours this has taken you but its just stunning....gorgeous selection of colours which all blend beautifully together just a lovely rainbow of colour...absolute perfection Chris.....
